Will Rahul Gandhi Get His Government House Back? Rules Say…

New Delhi:

Congress’s Rahul Gandhi, reinstated in parliament, will need to re-apply to the parliamentary housing committee to get his Tughlaq Lane home back. The house is yet to be allotted to anyone. Sources said Mr Gandhi would be re-allotted the house again once he applies.

Mr Gandhi had vacated the house days after he was stripped of his Lok Sabha membership on March 24 after he got a two-year jail term in the Modi surname case. A punishment of two years and above automatically disqualifies a lawmaker.

He has been living at his mother Sonia Gandhi’s 10 Janpath Road residence since.

Earlier today, Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary raised the issue of Mr Gandhi’s house before the housing committee. He wanted to apply on behalf of Mr Gandhi but he was told that under the rules, only Mr Gandhi can apply for it.
